Species·maximum trunk diameter (cm)
Fig. 6. Among-species difference in (a) initial relative growth rate (RGR) of trunk diameter,
(b) the asymptotic diameter from RGR regression to diameter, and (c) the per-capita recruitment rate (i.e. per species basal area) to a census-defined minimum size of 3-cm diameter,
plotted against the observed maximum diameter of each species. Data from the Koyohji plot
of a primary warm-temperate rain forest on Yakushima Island, southern Japan, from Aiba
and Kohyama (1996) and Kohyama and Takada (1998)

Trunk diameter (em)
Fig. 7. The relationship between trunk diameter at breast height and maximum height of
trees occurring in a mixed dipterocarp forest in West Kalimantan (Serimbu, plot-I, closed
symbols) and in a warm-temperate rain forest in southern Japan (Koyohji, plot-I, open symbols)
